I think that was probably my doing, or at least in large part my doing. I think the theory was that we clearly indicated that we would be very happy to have any of the candidates. But I can see now that that wasn't how things looked and I now agree that it was a bad idea. So, my personal apologies (particularly to Philipp). Regards, Ian.
